My Lord, I certainly hope someone can help me...I've been dealing with this all day. I get crashes saying that my adobe flash has crashed. My adobe is up to date. I've uninstalled advanced system care which I understand has issues with firefox. It still crashes. About an hour ago, I was told to type "about:crashes" into the address bar which I did. I have no idea what any of this means but basically this is what I have:

I have seen where Google Chrome will be ending support for Java in their fall 2015 release as well as Microsoft will be doing the same with "Project Spartan".

Does Firefox intend to continue supporting Java into the future?

What I am reffering to by "supporting Java" is in the educational world we use software that requires direct Java support for the software to be used. In particular I am reffering to Ellucian's BANNER and Evision's ARGOS.

Without Java support we cannot use these two very essential systems unless we continue to hold onto operating systems that are slowly but surely becoming out dated. ie... Windows7 and even then we have to turn off or refuse updates of the browsers to maintain useability.

After the most recent update (dudes, what happened to the usual explanation of what the update entailed?) I noticed this folder on my desktop, "Old Firefox Data." Is there where all my add-ons went? My presets? Et cetera?

Is there a reason to keep this folder, and if so what might I be able to use from it?

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.gmail.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
www.gmail.com uses an invalid security certificate.

Hello
This folowing website: http://www.studytonight.com/dbms/database-normalization.php
won't let me select, nor copy or paste under firefox. I have the 37.0.1 version.
I went to the configuration: about:config and I did a search for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled. I double clicked on it and the value changed to default. I then restarted my firefox browser, and it still didn't work. Would you please help.
Thank you.

I did NOT realize that firefox refresh would do what it did! I tried system restore which did not help. My old firefox data is on the desktop. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this kind of stuff so PLEASE explain step-by-step in a manner that I can understand. My reasoning for refreshing was because firefox has been giving me "not responding" messages for a very long time and I tried dozens of fixes. I had "everything" setup exactly how I wanted it and now seeing the damage I've done, I'd much rather have those messages return! Any AND all help will be greatly appreciated as it would take me weeks of researching to get things looking/working the same. I have to research things as simple as getting rid of yahoo search. Thanks in advance!

I have I.E. 9 set as my default browser & understand extended support will end in April, 2017 according to Microsoft. I have been unable to upgrade to Windows 7 on this P.C. & would like to know if there is any date set for Firefox Support as far as Windows Vista is concerned? I would like to set Firefox as my default browser if Vista will be supported for several more years if supported like it is now. What type of support will be offered, if any in the future?

While trying to install Java Runtime Environment Plugin, I was asked this:

Which Download should I choose?

Choose the 32-bit download to use with a 32-bit browser.
Choose the 64-bit download to use with a 64-bit browser.
If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers, you need to download both 32-bit and 64-bit Java.

Okay. The issue is that since the update to Firefox 37.0.2 I am having video playback issues on Youtube.com and Sometimes Newgrounds.com. In Youtube many videos I play only now show in the upper left hand corner of the screen and the size of that video does not change even in full screen. it remains the size of a small tile. I have tried disabling add ons, and pretty much everything suggested on various web sites. On New Grounds some videos and some games are flipped upside down and backwards as the occasional video but the video issue on Newgrounds is not as bad as the issue Firefox has with some of the games.

I have tried the exact same videos and games on Internet Exploder and I do not get any of these issues. This only began to happen after the update to 37.0.2.

I am using Windows 8 (FULLY UP TO DATE) and I have the latest version of Flash. I have managed to narrow this down to a Firefox issue and many others have stated in various sites addressing this issue as a bug in Firefox. I have to agree with this observation. Likewise my video drivers are up to date as well. My computer uses the Intel 4600 drivers.

Unable to fix home page & searching hijacked (search.safefinder.com) I have tried all of the possible fixes available from the Mozila Firefox help website. I am using a Fujitsu Siemens laptop running Windows Vista. Firefox is set as my default browser. Google is set as my default search engine & I have removed all other search engines. I have now set firefox to open with a blank page as I am sick of the wrong homepage opening. I have resett firefox several times. I have deleted personal settings from Internet Explorer when in safe mode. I have resett my home page. I have checked the target of the shortcut in properties. I have used Malwarebytes, Microsoft malware scanner & other various malware scanners, but I do not want to pay to remove malware that I never wanted in the first place. I have run scans in safe mode, some malware was found which has been removed. I have tried to manually search for safefinder but can not find anything. I downloaded & installed Google Chrome & exactly the same thing happened with that so I have uninstalled it. I googled this problem & found that lots of people have the same problem. Please help if you can.

I noticed this first with a Google Sheet that was slow to update. It seems to be getting worse and when I have multiple tabs, many do not refresh. Additionally, when I am looking at a page like Google News and scroll down, many times the entire center column is a black box and does not always load images.

I have tried refreshing and it did not help. I started in Safe Mode and it seems to be much better so I am guessing it is a problem with add-ins? I am currently scanning for malware as well.

Hey there.

Despite having both the latest plug-in for Adobe Flash (17.0.0.169) and the latest Mozilla Firefox update (37.0.1), I seem to be unable to actually use Flash in much of anything. This is especially frustrating because even just a few hours ago I was watching a Twitch stream, closed out Mozilla, and then went to bed. I am uncertain as to what is the cause of this problem.

On Twitch, the browser will freeze for 10-20s before I see a message in the chat service "Failed to load Flash" or something along those lines.
On YouTube, I get a Script Error where I'm prompted to continue running, debug, or stop a script incoming from yt.img.

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled all of Adobe Flash. I have also gone into Firefox Safe Mode in which the issues persisted. Additionally, I have tried to load either site before and after clearing my cache - with no difference between tests. Furthermore, I have already tried adding yt.img to a blacklist and, while I could load the stream page or video page without trouble, I could not actually see the video.
I'm using Windows 7 (64x) and have not had any similar issues with Firefox even up until last night.

For something that seems to have snuck up during the night, this issue is pretty frustrating to encounter. I'll edit this post and attach images in a moment.

EDIT: Attached images and confirmed that this problem is local to Firefox itself. Adobe Flash seems to work fine in my IE (which I only just now used to test it).

So I know how to set my homepage to open multiple tabs, however it has the undesired effect of making it so those tabs are opened every time I hit the homepage button. Is there a way to set Firefox to open multiple pages on start-up, while not actually setting the homepage to open multiple tabs?

So I'm trying to watch videos on YouTube and all I'm getting is the spinning loading circle and nothing more.

I'm running version 37.0.2 (Most current) and the most basic add-ons that are up to date. I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing Flash, I've uninstalled and then reinstalled FireFox and am still getting the same problem!
